Witnesses said the matatu was overtaking a motorbike rider, when it collided with an oncoming truck. Other people including the motorbike rider sustained injuries and were rushed to the Meru Hospital. Kenya Red Cross officials had to seek help from locals to retrieve bodies that had been trapped inside the matatu wreckage. The truck driver disappeared from the scene fearing for his life.
